7 BIRCH GROVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 7 BIRCH GROVE sales from March 1997 and December 2012 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the March 1997 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the December 2012 sale, where it falls to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.

What might 7 BIRCH GROVE be worth now?

The 61.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 BIRCH GROVE of £300,000 on 14th December 2012. For the value to have increased from £300,000 to £485,750 over the twelve years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
